    G                                  C 
She put it right between my lips and I bit down with the light 
      G                                  D 
And I asked her had she anything and she handed me a light 
    G                                   C 
And with that light I took a drag and I watched the world go by 
G                                     D             G 
You were mine and I was yours and our limit was the sky 



G        C                    G 
  And we watched, the time go by 
                                         D 
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry 
    G                             C 
And when I think of you I know forever I will be 
G                           D             G 
Happy as the fool because together we are free 



        G                               C 
Well we cantered on by the statue where once Phil Lynott stood 
    G                        D 
Met by a scobe being hoisted outside Mary's Pub 
     G                             C 
We'd never seen the like before, a rare scene so daft 
    G                            D                 G 
The cobbles were lit up by the enchantment of your laugh 



G        C                    G 
  And we watched, the time go by 
                                         D 
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry 
    G                             C 
And when I think of you I know forever I will be 
G                           D             G

        G                                  C 
Well we watched the buskers play a tune on lower Grafton Street 
      G                               D 
And I tried to grab your finger but I wasn't so discrete 
    G                                      C 
You smiled, embraced my hand and pulled me into some old bar 
   G                                      D                  G 
We drank a drop and we twirled and talked about our lives so far 

 

G        C                    G 
  And we watched, the time go by 
                                         D 
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry 
    G                             C 
And when I think of you I know forever I will be 
G                           D             G

   G                                  C 
He swallowed down his last drop and began to feel the heat 
       G                              D 
And he gestured to the barman that it was his time to leave 
       G                               C 
With a cap upon his head he thought of home in Skibbereen 
   G                                       D             G 
He said we were the finest couple that his eyes had ever seen 



G        C                    G 
  And we watched, the time go by 
                                         D 
Well I told her ask me anything, and she asked me how to cry 
    G                             C 
And when I think of you I know forever I will be 
G                           D             G

Now she boards her plane back to her home in Amsterdam 
       G                           D 
She'll study for the year before returning to our land 
    G                              C 
She said she loves a man and he is stationed far away 
     G                                 D            G 
With him her precious love she says forever it will stay 



G        C                    G 
  And we watched, the time go by 
                                         D
